AQN vs. CPX CPX is quite high quality, with pretty good torque to Alberta power prices, so if you expect Alberta prices to rally, this one will benefit. AQN is his preference, as it has more diversity in its asset base. AQN has more robust opportunities for growth, plus more leverage to the renewable utilities build out.

And AQN raising money through an issue confused investors. Decent growth is still expected. They raised the dividend in May. Not overly expensive while the cash flow remains solid. Fine for income investors. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

Attractive dividend with a good growth profile. Good ESG candidate so funds should flow into this. In the last little while, we have seen some decline in the sector. An attractive entry price. There is 1400 additional mega watts of energy coming online. A good rewarder of share holders. (Analysts’ price target is $21.01)

A great way to play the US expansion into renewable power in the coming decade. The valuation has risen, but took a dip during the Texas freeze last winter (was a buying opportunity). The stock is still compelling to buy. Likes it. The renewable stocks ran ahead of themselves in January-February, pricing in too many years of growth, but this correction was healthy. Valuations are still not cheap, but long-term returns still look good. Also consider Boralex and Northland Power.
